although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is really worldwide.On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in distant areas away from any industrial cities.In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution.Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect” keeping heat reflected from the earth and raising the worlds average temperature.If this view is correct and the worlds temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earths temperature a result that would be equally disastrous.A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas.Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen.Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the worlds temperature will stay about the same as it is now.Driven by economic profits, people ignore the damage on our environment caused by the “advanced civilization”Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development.But is it really worthwhile?语篇解读：本文主要讲述了空气污染可能会给我们造成的影响。1People used to think that air pollution_.Acaused widespread damage in the countrysideBaffected the entire eastern half of the United StatesChad a very bad effect on healthDexisted merely in urban and industrial areas解析：选D细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句可知，人们过去认为空气污染只存在于工厂林立的工业区和交通拥挤的大城市当中。故选D。2As to the greenhouse effect, the author_.Ashares the same view with the scientistsBis uncertain of its occurrence Crejects it as being ungroundedDthinks that it will destroy the world soon解析：选B推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句中的“If this view is correct and .”可知，作者并不确定这种观点(来自化石燃料燃烧的二氧化碳会导致温室效应，使全球变暖)是否正确。故选B。3The underlined word “offset” in the second paragraph could be replaced by “_”AcounteractBbreak fromCget along Dcommunicate解析：选A词义猜测题。根据画线词所在的句子及其前一句可知，我们不知道这两种可能情况(全球变暖和全球变冷)中的哪种会发生，如果我们足够幸运的话，这两种现象会相互抵消中和，温度依然会保持不变。因此，offset应为“补偿；抵消”之意，故选A。4If the worlds temperature lowered just a few degrees_.Ait would not do much harm to life on earthBit would lead major farming areas to disasterCparticular things would increase greatly in the atmosphereDseas and oceans would flood many cities解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，温度降低几度的话，就会出现类似冰川时代的现象，农业将会变得很难发展甚至是不可能了。故选B。BIn China, the “kingdom of bicycles”， people went everywhere by bicycle.However, now as a result of industrialization, from 1995 to 2005, the number of bikes declined by 35% in Chinese cities, while cars and other motor vehicles doubled.This has left air polluted and roads crowded.In China, pollutant levels have risen alongside urban population growth.To deal with this issue, Chinese cities have invested (投资) increasingly in public transport systems like bikesharing.Bikesharing systems have grown extremely in China in the past decade.The first major models started in European cities Amsterdam and Copenhagen in 1968 and 1995 and offered a service through which citygoers could easily borrow bikes to travel around the city.Since then, bikesharing systems have grown rapidly.China now has the biggest and largest number of bikesharing programs.One of the largest programs is the Hangzhou Public Bicycle Service.The system is straightforward pick up a bike from any station and you can ride for free in the first hour.Need another hour? Pay 1 yuan for a second hour.Given its ease and cheapness, its no surprise that an average of 310,000 people use the system every day.However, the adoption of bikesharing wasnt easy at the beginning.After the 2008 Olympic Games, Beijing struggled in maintaining its bikesharing programs, as bikesharing companies suffered heavy financial (财政的) losses due to little government support and little demand.Shanghai similarly struggled in 2014, with citizens choosing to take taxis or to buy their own bikes.Then things started to look up.And now more bikesharing programs, like Mobike and ofo, are developing quickly.Regardless of how bikesharing systems change in China, its evident that theyve made their mark on Chinas transport systems, on the way to making the country return to the “kingdom of bicycles” and hopefully regain clean air.语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了共享单车在中国的发展过程。5What contributed to the birth of bikesharing programs in China?ARising pollutant levels.BThe population growth.CThe tradition of riding bicycles.DPeoples increasing interest in cycling.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To deal with this issue, Chinese cities have invested (投资) increasingly in public transport systems like bikesharing”可知， this issue应指第一段所提到的“However, now as a result of industrialization . This has left air polluted and roads crowded”，所以说是机动车导致的城市环境污染催生了共享单车。6What can we learn about bikesharing from Paragraph 2?AIt serves as the most convenient transport system.BIt is a common means of transport in Europe.CIt enjoys popularity in most Chinese cities.DIt has a history of about half a century.解析：选D推理判断题。根据第二段的“The first major models started in European cities Amsterdam and Copenhagen in 1968 and 1995 and offered a service through which citygoers could easily borrow bikes to travel around the city”可知，共享单车已经有半个世纪的历史，故选D项。7What made Shanghai have trouble keeping its bikesharing programs at first?ALittle demand. BToo many taxis.CA lack of money. DNo government support.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第四段的“Shanghai similarly struggled in 2014, with citizens choosing to take taxis or to buy their own bikes”可知，市场需求少是造成其最初发展问题的因素。8What would be the best title for the text?ABikes: an ecofriendly means of transportBThe benefits of bikesharingCThe kingdom of bicyclesDBikesharing in China解析：选D标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了共享单车在中国的发展过程，故D项为最佳标题。.语法填空About 40 years ago, Jadav Payeng, an Indian teenager, began planting trees in a huge sandbar (沙洲) near his birthplace.With his hard work and great efforts, he has turned the sandbar _1_ a forest.It was 1979, _2_ Payeng was only 16, and floods had washed a great number of snakes onto the sandbar.When Payeng found them, they had all died.“Because of the _3_ (absent) of trees, the snakes died in _4_ heat.It was really _5_ (pain), so I decided to grow bamboos and trees there，” said Payeng.Over the years, Payeng _6_ (plant) over 1,360 acres (英亩) of forest.The forest, _7_ (name) after its creator, is believed to be the worlds biggest forest in the middle of a river.
